A First-Timer's Guide to Dubai
Dubai rewards a little planning — the city is spread out and the best experiences are easy to miss if you don't know where to look.
Getting around
The Metro covers most tourist areas cheaply; save taxis for late nights or when you're carrying luggage.
Don't miss
- Old Dubai — the abra crossing and the spice souk, best done early morning
- A desert safari booked through a licensed operator
- Sunset at the Marina walk
Ask our team about combining a Dubai stopover with your onward flight — it often costs little extra.
